Tips For The Men (but help for the women)

RELATIONSHIP LESSON: Men have NO idea how long something they either say or do can stay inside a woman's mind...

Relationship Lessons are here to help everyone, it's for the women and for the men too. On the radio show yesterday (Relationship Lessons on BlogTalkRadio.com) a caller from New York gave me his view on how relationship shows hosted by women are bashing men, and how relationship shows hosted by men take no responsibility for their actions and bash women. Today I wanted to give men a little advise that might get you just a little further in the mind of women. It may be things you may already know and practice on the regular, or it may be a subtle reminder to remember what worked for you when you were the hunter. At any rate, here goes...

Toast her - Toast each other when you sit down to dinner. It doesn't always have to be over the bubbly or wine, but a glass of water or sweet tea (since I've been in Nashville for the week). Tell her something you love about her and then drink to it!

Reach out and touch her - Use the power of touch to make a lasting impression throughout the day. There is no such thing as not having time for a kiss goodbye in the morning or again upon reuniting at the end of the day. And an inviting warm hug or back rub at the end of a stressful day is always appreciated.

Take note of significant things - Set something aside for her every day. It might be a newspaper article you read during your commute, a link to a website you came across, or even a story you heard by the office water cooler. She will appreciate that you took a moment to think of her during the course of your day.

Keep up your appearance - Let her see you at your best. It's ironic that we dress up to meet total strangers but let ourselves go around our nearest and dearest. Most women  love to see their men clean-shaven or a well trimmed beard, in great clothes and perhaps wearing a hint of her favorite cologne.

Tell her about your moods - Be honest if you are feeling stressed or under the weather. Your woman will appreciate your honesty and will know not to take it personally when you come home in a bad mood. Just make every effort possible to NOT stay in that mood just because you announced that you are feeling a little moody. 

Discuss your day - Sit down together when you get home and relate your daily experiences. The good and the bad, the highs and the lows. The best thing about spending time apart is that it makes you appreciate each other more when you come together.
